The revised document addresses the following significant issues: combined the NASA Software Assurance Standard (NASA-STD-8739.8) with the NASA Software Safety Standard (NASA-STD-8719.13), reduction of requirements, bring into alignment with updates to NPR 7150.2, added a section on IV&V requirements to perform IV&V, and moved guidance text to an Electronic Handbook. This change combines the updates to NASA-STD-8739.8 and the content of NASA-STD-8719.13. The update includes the NASA software safety requirements and cancels NASA-STD-8719.13 standard.

This NASA Technical Standard is published by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to provide uniform engineering and technical requirements for processes, procedures, practices, and methods that have been endorsed as standard for NASA facilities, programs, and projects, including requirements for selection, application, and design criteria of an item. This standard was developed by the NASA Office of Safety and Mission Assurance (OSMA). Requests for information, corrections, or additions to this standard should be submitted to the OSMA by email to Agency-SMA-Policy-Feedback@mail.nasa.gov or via the “Email Feedback” link at https://standards.nasa.gov.

3. Example of Table from Software Assurance Plan
The table below was taken from excerpts from Software Assurance Plan in SWEHBVD. The table is built from SWE excerpts plus SA Tasks using the individual SA tasks from the "SA Tasks from NASA-STD-8739.8A" area of SITE.
The advantage of using this technique is that changes to the requirements (from SWEHBVD SWEs) and SA Tasks (from NASA-STD-8739.8A) will be made in one place. Once the updates are made, all of the places where they are repeated (quoted) are automatically updated.
It is a little one time work to setup. It saves time as updates are made in documents.
